another oil change question

[lwmcguir]

You are 1 qt over full! You can not drain, refill, start, and then check the level. The 6.7 has a closed crankcase, no venting to the outside. You have to let it set over night to check the level with cold oil in it. Fully warmed up you have to let it sit at least 15 minutes or longer before checking it. The capacity is 12 qts with filter change. If you don't remove the fill cap when draining and let drain for 15 minutes or longer, you will not get a full drain on it either.

My oil dip stick is right on the full mark with the 13 quarts the day after the change and sitting overnight. That is what the 6.7 book calls for as well.

What have you other Ford 6.7 enging owners found when changing oil? Sure curious about this.

That is correct regarding the wait time, book calls for 20 minutes when checking the oil with the engine hot.
